Song Lyrics

Oh, Jawbone, when did you first go wrong?
Oh, Jawbone, where is it you belong?
Three time looser, you'll never learn,
Lay down your tools before you burn
Ya keep on runnin' and hidin' your face
Spreadin' your heat all over the place

I'm a thief and I dig it
I'm up on a beef, I'm gonna rig it
I'm a thief and I dig it
Oh, Jawbone, why don't cha sit and moan?
Oh, Jawbone, you know that it's stone for stone
Sneak through the night upon your toes
To look in your eye, it never shows
Your name upon the post office wall
Put you on edge 'cause they wrote it too small

I'm a thief and I dig it
I'm up on a beef, I'm gonna rig it
I'm a thief and I dig it

Oh, Jawbone, revenge stays on your mind
Oh, Jawbone, you been doin' too much time
Pull off a job with an inside man
Who needs the cash and likes your plan
Then you will know just who to thank
When you land right back in the tank

I'm a thief and I dig it
I'm up on a beef, I'm gonna rig it
I'm a thief and I dig it
Oh, Jawbone, why don't' cha go home?
Oh, Jawbone, where is it you belong?
Boostin' and goin' out on the lam
Ya know that you'll steal anything that you can
Temptation stands just behind the door
So what you want to go and open it for?

I'm a thief and I dig it
I'm up on a beef, I'm gonna rig it
I'm a thief and I dig it

Richard Manuel, Robbie Robertson
